Geology

Like Victoria Peak immediately south, Warden Peak is the remnants of a volcanic plug, a volcanic formation when lava hardens within a vent of a volcano. If a plug is preserved, erosion may remove the surrounding rock while the erosion-resistant plug remains, producing a distinctive landform, such as Warden Peak.
